Really, who needs yet another water park?

I think whoever has a vote on the Kalahari water park should take a walk up and down the fairways they plan to destroy. Take a look in the woods at the beautiful mountain laurel and rhododendron, and the majestic trees. Then drive a few miles down the road to Great Wolf and say that is what we need to do, but much larger. (Let's pave paradise, put up a parking lot.)

Is this progress the Poconos needs? Yes, it will help with property taxes and give minimum-wage jobs, but at what cost? People want to come here to see the natural beauty, not artificial.

What happen to swimming in a cold creek? Why would anyone want to take a chlorine bath with hundreds of strangers?
